Part 1 of this series is here, in case you missed it. Welcome back, grasshoppers. Today I’m going to tell you about law school orientation. Specifically, I’m going to tell you some of the things we were told at orientation and whether or not we were given good advice. I’m assuming that our orientation wasn’t [...]
free advice for future 1Ls, part 1
by Jill on 27. May, 2010 in law school
So it’s summer, and you’re starting law school in the fall. You have about two or three short months before school starts and you’re scouring the internet for information. You don’t have to pretend like you’re not. I know you are. I was in your shoes just one year ago. It’s okay, we’re all friends [...]
1L spring semester and ASS syndrome
by Jill on 25. May, 2010 in law school
Okay, so again, until the other day, I hadn’t posted at all since around Christmas. I didn’t post one single time during 1L spring semester. I feel like I should at least reference it now. I mean, after all, it happened. It’s like this. The 1L fall semester can be pretty terrifying and overwhelming and [...]
a public service announcement
by Jill on 22. Dec, 2009 in law school, ranting and raving
I have lots of pet peeves. Truckloads of them. Some of them are reasonable, some of them aren’t, although I’m fairly well attached to all of them. My newest one is this oh-so-typical conversation, which I’ve had approximately 8342 times already since the semester’s been over: EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD: So, how’s law school? [...]
um, oops
by Jill on 15. Nov, 2009 in law school
So I haven’t posted in like two weeks. Terribly sorry. I really haven’t even been all that busy, although I’m supposed to have been busy this whole time. My motivation has flown out the window and I’ve been waiting for it to come back. Okay, okay, I cannot tell a lie. The truth is, I [...]
100th post! and lingering questions
by Jill on 01. Nov, 2009 in law school
It’s a milestone kind of day here at Chez Ninja. This is my 100th post! Hard to believe. So, to celebrate, I’m completing a half-finished post from a long time ago while watching Get Smart with Ninja Kid and eating tons of leftover Halloween candy. Hey, don’t hate me cuz I know how to par-tay. [...]
quagmire!!
by Jill on 26. Oct, 2009 in law school
Last week in Contracts we had a practice exam over the Statute of Frauds. Prof. K told us from the get-go that we’d probably all fail it but that he’d spend a few days the next week (this week) going over the proper way to take one of his exams. So one of the deals [...]

First, crank up the speakers. Now, press play. Welcome to my epiphany. I. HAVE. DISCOVERED. COFFEE. That is all. Tweet
law school lessons: week 8
by Jill on 18. Oct, 2009 in law school
Faster than you can say “hideous monstrous rabbit squishing a young girl,” we’re halfway through our fall 1L semester. Can you believe it? No, that’s not Ninja Kid. I have no idea who this poor little girl is BUT GOOD GOD LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT RABBIT! Anyway. I forgot previously to write about [...]
law school lessons: week 7
by Jill on 11. Oct, 2009 in law school
Well, week 7 is in the books. We’re nearing the halfway point of 1L fall semester. I know a lot more than I did seven weeks ago, that’s fo sho. But the thought of exams coming up in less than two months now… [please hold for major panic attack] Seems like the only class with [...]
